Yesterday afternoon Judge Aldridge, OF
the District court, hesrd the famous in
junction case of Duck Greek vs.. EmOree.
The former has enjuined the latter from
incorporating, and the sum aud substance
of the whole affair is as to which OF the
towns, that are adjacent to each other,
shall have the postatf1ce. This is the
bone of contention, and at present
Enbree has the bone. It is a
hard fight between the two hsmlets,
and Uncle Sam will proba-
bly, have to finally settle the ques-
ton by putting the postofflce half way
between the two places. An effort was
made to compromise the matter by the
two places discarding their presnt names
to assume that of Union City, but just
here the postoffice popped up again, and
as Embree did not wish to surrender
the tailsman the Duck Creekites
stood pat and defiant. This
forenoon Judge Aldredge dis
solved the Injunction and the Duck
Creek people gave notice of appeal. The
case will be carried into the United States
court.

while the settlers were only occupying q
few sections, he didn't think the COM
pany, at least, had any right to complain,
He declined to prosecute the settlers,
and intimated that if any proceedings of
that sort were begun the company would
figure as defendant.
Thus matters stood st the time of the
passage of the new land Law, when the
population of the settlement had increased
TO about thirty families. The settlers
were now confident of final triumph
over their old antagonist, the company,
by being permitted to purchase from the
state the places they had improved. The Y
We're looking forward with feeling OF re-
lief to the survey and classification of
their lands, when TO their great astonish-4
ment, the command TO leave was giysd.
II seems that there are other reasons,
besides the old troubles, for the peAEmpt-
DRY action OF the company. 1t has land
enough OF its own to Craze It's own cattses
which numbers about Is, 600 head, but of
late it has made contracts to pasture u, -
900 head st the rate of 81 80 per head for
the ensuing yesr. The speculation is an
| ingenious and most profitable one. 1t
pays the state, in lease money for the
l51 ,040 acres of pubic lands inclosed,

HUGE W1RE FENCE
stretched far around, on either
side. The agents OF the COM
pany fumed and fretted, but the
settlers were invincible. They claimed
an equality of right on the public lands,
with the English company, and held on
in the hope that the watered lands upon
which they had located would one day
be placed upon the market, thus enabling
them 20 purchase thefs homes. The COM
papy, however, never became reconcile6
to their presence ;netty collisions were fire.
quentyAnd as thsNays went by the relations
between theSbWS Sets of occupants of the big
pasture grew more strained The company
made an effort in 1854 to lease the entire
tract, Joining in the celebrated 4-cent
tender, which YVES refused by the Land
Board. In 1885 the manager of the COM
psny wrote letter to the Land Board
stating that number of parties were
trespassing upon the school lands on Elm
and Salt Fork, and requesting that some
steps be taken to eject them. The letter
was referred to District At
torney Woodman of this district, who
said that as the company had enclosed
and. was using over $50 900 acres of
school lands

special correspondence OF the Gazette
MoBEETIK, TEX Oct. -SeverslIdays
ago rumor reached this place that the
manager Of the Rocking Chair Ranch
Company had peremptorily commanded 8
large number OF settlers, living Just be.
Vond the line of Wheeler county, in Col
IingsWorth, to leave their homes and get
out of his range, which he has Just Sc
cured from the state. The arbitrary ns-
ture of the alleged demand caused many
to doubt that it had been made, IS report
ed, but to-day the story was confirmed
by two of the settlers who are affected by
it, and who came in to consult a lawyer
and ascertain the extent of their legal
rights. They state that on Monday last
Mr.. Drew, manager of the Rocking Chair
Company, visited the homes of
ALL THE SETTLERS
with his foreman, who he said acCompa-
MED him as witness, and notified them
that they mus get out immediately; that
he had leased the land and had been
paying rent on it to the state
ever since the 4th of July, and that it they
didn't leave st once he would cause them
al to be prosecuted criminally in Travis
county. Messrs. Boyd and Jones, the
gentlemen VINO corroborsted the report,
we're requested by their co-settiers to in
vestiga.e the matter and find out whether
the company could eject them under it's
lease. All are very indignant and de-
termined to fight to the end Of the law
the attempt Of the company to expel them
from their homes.
The contest between the company and
the settlers, which has reached a climax
in the obnoxious order referred to, has
been going on with more or less bitter
ness for four years. Both came upon the
contested ground about the same time
When the Rocking Chair Company
bought the cattle and Grange privileges"
of COnkle & Lytle, during the flush times
of the cattle industry in 1888, the nucleus
of 8 settlement on Elm creek and
the Salt Fork of Red river had been
formed. Soon afterWsrd the company
bought of the New York and Texas Land
Company 237 sections of land within their
range, and imm diately fenced this with
all the alternating sections Of school land
The tract thus enclosed is about twenty
miles wide by thirty miles long, including
some Of the most fertile and
BEST wATERED LANDS
in ColingsWorth and Wheeler counties.
If the intent was to squeeze out the set
tiers it proved futile, for they not only
held on with logged persistency, but
continued to grow IN numbers. The
abundance Of wood and water made it g
desirable locality for colony; comforta-
BILE Installations were erected; little farms
were started, and the work of improve
ment carried on with will which indi-
